Bad omen? Michelle Obama asks for money BEFORE debate

After the last presidential debate, President Obama sent out an online fundraising pitch. That’s standard operating practice these days — hit supporters up for cash right as their hitting political (emotional) climax right after a big event like a debate.

But given Obama’s tepid performance in the first debate, we can’t help but wonder why First Lady Michelle Obama sent out a fundraising plea BEFORE the second debate. You know…just in case it, ahem…cough…doesn’t go well.

I am so proud of Barack — and I can’t wait to see him on stage during tonight’s debate.

It gives us both so much strength to know you’re out there, cheering him on, building this campaign from the bottom up.

Tonight at the debate, you’re going to see the guy who will always be out there fighting tirelessly for you.
